Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An old-school gamers best friend!
Having gotten the majority of the classic game compilations out there, I still had a few games on my "want" list. These games never passed the nes/snes stage so after investigating what was out there I picked one of these up. I've had blast playing Super Punch-Out! and can't wait to play some other old favorites. No control issues and the color looked great to me.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Retro Duo; two consoles, only one adapter on your TV!
I bought this system because I lost the ac adapter to my Nintendo, and I lost my Super Nintendo as well. I also was bought by the small size as I have little space for things in my house. It is actually smaller than a SNES so it fits anywhere. This console also plays more games that the FC Twin. It doesn't play Tetris 2 though. So far that is all that I am aware of. The controllers that it comes with are like SNES controllers, but weigh a lot less. The lighter controllers make it harder to play games and one of mine has broke already. I would recommend using original SNES controllers instead. It has nice sound too.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I can finally play my old games!
Finally, I can play all of my old games! Even ones that didn't really work very well on my original console. I just popped the games in & and all 18 of them worked - no putting them in & out and so on like I had to do with my original system.

What I especially like about this system, is that you can plug it in to the front of a TV/VCR by using the yellow/white/red & S-Video cables, instead of having to go through the back! The colors are awesome & it's nice and small so you can put it anywhere.

The only thing kind of annoying about it is that you do have to carefully work the games out - it doesn't have a release button or anything. Though, once you get used to it, it's not so bad.

I've only had it for a day, & I haven't tried 8-bit games in it yet, so this is only my first impression. Let's hope it keeps up the good work!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Little Game Console!!!!
I thought I'd never get to play all the old Nes and Snes games again without going into a hissy fit!! This Duo Retro Game works great so far. No problems and it looks cool too. I have the Black and Red one. The price was right at $40.00 Just remember, If you want a joystick or other controllers you need to buy the SNES Versions!!
They are coming up with a adapter to use with NES controllers, but not sure when. I would recommend this product!!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Best NES/SNES clone as of 2008
Retro Duo is very slightly updated version of FC Dual. Main difference in the casing design.

Supposedly it has better compatibility than FC Dual. But that is not confirmed.

Controller that ships with the system looks just like the SNES controller. But I personally recommend swapping it with the original SNES controller.
Innex (company that produces Retro Duo) is currently working on a converter for the NES controller for the system as well.

S-video support is a cool feature. But since NES and SNES games have such low resolution (in today's standard), it's best viewed on the CRT TVs of yeteryears.

Still a good buy for the money you pay.
